Hookland Radio

Recently uncovered from the private collection of one
who wishes to remain anonymous,
this recording of a Hookland Radio broadcast
from the late 60’s is an enticing glimpse
into the curious eccentricity of the
Hookland community at the time.

As can be expected, the quality of the recording
is not up to modern standards,
but it is an enjoyable listen nevertheless.

Sounds of the Night

An experiment in multimedia storytelling,Sounds of the Night is an animated short story
written and created by Kendall Redburn.You can take a look here.

Hello there, Wyrd Heads!

Issue 8 of Wyrd Daze is on the way and will be anAlrealon Musique Special, dedicated to the
exciting and eclectic label.

It’s a bit overdue as I have been very busy over the
past few weeks, and I’m still gathering the materials
to be included in the issue.

So in the meantime I’ve put together a little interlude package for Wyrd Daze subscribers which includes the following:

– an exclusive audio collage from The Ephemeral Mancrafted especially for this interlude which includes material from a forthcoming EP

– episode 3 of Paperclippe‘sLife, the Universe, and Everything vlog

– a raw text peek at the next instalment of acclaimed author David Southwell‘s Phoenix Guide to Strange England: Hookland

All subscribers should by now have received a message
with a link to download this interlude.

Subscribe now via Patreon from as little as $1 a month and you will receive this interlude package as well as a free digital copy of the original print version of Wyrd Daze
and an 11 track music compilation.

Patreon subscribers also have access to ongoing exclusive content on the Wyrd Daze Patreon page.
For more details, click HERE.

Time for another Wyrd Daze update, including news of a competition!

I’m pleased to say that the zine is going strong: I’m currently putting together issue 5, and as I type there are 25 subscribers. Having 25 people happy to invest a little money every month is quite an achievement for an independent endeavour, and I am very proud of how the zine is progressing. The quality of contributions continues to be excellent, and I am extremely grateful to all those who have given their time and shared some of their magnificent creativity. With 25 subscribers, I am able to pay regular contributors a little for their work.

The next goal is to keep spreading the word and reach 50 subscribers, whereupon I will be able to pay more people more money for their contributions. I firmly believe that artists deserve to get paid for their work as much as anyone does, and that a subscription based model such, as with Wyrd Daze, is a good viable way to facilitate such payment: directly, without intervention disrupting the creativity, and without intrusion from advertising or other commercial limitations.

So, what you can do to help is spread the word, create something,contribute, perhaps write a review of the zine or a specific part of it, and most of all consider subscribing, to help support independent creativity. It’s not a chore, it’s a gift: for only $5, which is less than £3, you get a dazzling amount to content every month!

Current subscribers can enter too, and can win a special prize, the detail of which I’m keeping under wraps for a little longer.

Thank you very much for your time,

I wish you the wyrdest of dreams…

Leigh
